Nandamuri Balakrishna‘s NBK 111 has been in the spotlight since the shoot kicked off in March. Now, director Gopichand Malineni‘s satirical reply on X has become the latest talking point — and it puts a casting rumor to rest.
The Rumor That Circulated
A rumor started doing the rounds on social media claiming that Dimple Hayathi — known for Khiladi and Bharat Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi — had been roped in as an additional heroine in NBK 111. Fans weren’t pleased. Nayanthara had already been officially confirmed as the film’s leading lady, and the idea of another heroine didn’t sit well with Nandamuri fans.
Gopichand Malineni’s Satirical Reply
When a fan flagged the rumor on social media, Gopichand Malineni responded with a sharp, satirical post on X that had everyone in splits.
The director’s reply confirms the rumor is false. Nayanthara remains the sole confirmed heroine in NBK 111.
